Mr.. Crosley in substance said:


A resolution was passed at recent session Of
OF the Sovereign Grand Lodge. setting apart the
zOth OF october as memorial day, that the
lodges might engage in appropriate exercises re-
speeting their deceased members The
date was chosen because it Is the anniversary OF
tne death Of Thomas Wildey, the acknowledged
Iather OF Odd Fellowship In America As thls Is
the first service Of the kind, my remarks will be
more or less explanatory and general.
Odd Fellowship Is family, we are brother

II Is quite becoming that we should honor our
dead by appropriate ceremonies, not that we can
help them but that we may greatly benefit our.
their deeds. they are our brothers even though
lhey be absent from us. We should remember
them Tor what they have done for US.
The fact that our order IS large, growing anC
influential Is an indication that their labOrs were
not N vain and are deserving Of notice at ouI
hands. Our order Is In its 6Sth year. It rises
from humble rigin. Its existence dates from the
2bth OF April, 1919, at which time five men.
Thomas Wildey, John weleh, John Duncan John
Chatham and Richard RushwOrth, met in a little
room IN tavern In Baltimore, Md. From that

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
Commissioner Miller Says That He
Always Thought So.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27. = Commissioner
Miller says that the announcement that ac-
cess has finally been had to the Revenue Col
lector'S records for use in prosecuting viola
tors of the liquor law does not surprise him.
He said: ''We have always recognized the
fact that the records of the collectors office
must be open to those desiring to examine
them. What we fought against in the Main e
case was the demand that we should bring
them into court. That we are not compelled
or even authorized to do, but the law ex-
pressly requires that the records be kept ae-
cessible to the public. Here is the law. 1t
reads as follows:
THE collector shall, under regulations OF the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue, place and
keep in conspicuous place in his office for public
inspection complete list of the names of ali per
sons who shall have paid special taxes within his
district, and shall state time, place and business

LANDLORD AND LIQUOR AGENT.
Eighteen Hundred Dollars Worth of
medicine" for Milton Plantation.
Especial to the Press

PARIS, Oct. 27.-A very remarkable prose-
cution under the liquor law has arisen
through the action of the grand jury in in
dieting ID. A. Coffin, of Milton Plantation,
for liquor nuisance and common seller. The
interest in the case lies in the fact that Cof-
fin is the town liquor agent of Milton Plan
tation. he is also the keeper of the village
inn, and it is said that he has worked the
two together to very good advantage. He
bought last year of the State Liquor Agent
over $500 worth of liquors. This is quite
an amount of yearly medicine" for small
place like Milton Plantation, which had a
population of only $50 in 1880.
1t is said that Coffin is somewhat famous
as manager of fiourishing liquor agencies.
Several years ago he was keeper of the agen-
cy in the town of Greenwood. One year he
sold over $4,000 worth of liquor, it is said

Loss of the Sidney Wright Explained
After Seven Years.

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-The note from Den
mis- Murphy, in the bottle which was picked
up at Sandwich, seems to explain the loss Of
the steamer Sidney Wright She was small

Philadelphia and Tacony. Pa, and was own
ed by Capt. McCue and others. She was
comparatively new vessel, and was christen-
ed in honor of the junior partner of the well
known shipping firm of Peter Wright Il Sons
The Sidney Wright was sold to parties in
Florida, and sailed from Walnut street
wharf, Philadelphia, for her destination, on
or about Sept. IA, 1880, with crew of six
received from either the missing vessel or
crew. She was valued at about $4,000. The
vessel was undoubtedly lost, and the story

Sharp's Case.

ALBANY, N. Y, Oct, 27.-The case of Ja-
cob Sharp came up for review before the
Court of Appeals today. The large room
was idensely crowded. The attorneys who
represented this people were Nicoll. Semple
and Comstock, while those who represented
Sharp were Cochran, Paige and Stickney.
Judge Ruger limited the arguments to fours
duration. Mr.. Cochran was the first to ar
que in behalf Of the defence.
Mr.. Paige, for Mr.. Sharp, confined his ar
gument to the point that it was an error to
admit evidence which had been given by
the defendant before the committee Of the
Senate.
Mr.. Nicoll, for the people, dwelt princi-
pally upon the testimony of Sharp before
the legislative committee, but went over the
whole grounds of the trial to show that no
error had been committed.

that more than 600 fraudulent votes were
cast yesterday. while the Republican leaders
say the figures will reach 10000. The Cor

the Increased majority by the popularity of

in this as he ran ahead Of his ticket. The
